28MM NAPOLEONIC: PICTON AT WATERLOO 1815

 Here is a comparison of 3 models of Lt Gen Thomas Picton KCB at Waterloo.

Left to right they are by Perry, Front Rank and Foundry.   The Perry model is based with their Captain Mercer the others are based with ADCs.  Kevin Bowman painted the first 2 sets - all based by myself.

  1. very nice Bill - one would question how many Pictons one might require at Waterloo! - but that would be churlish! Very nice models!

    1. Ken - I am keeping Picton with captain Mercer....

  2. As Sir Thomas has now fallen from grace, presumably figure manufacturers will be required to remove him from their ranges? Does "toppling" a 28mm likeness count as a blow for freedom against the colonial oppressors?

    1. Agreed Kevin did a great job on the first 2 sets of figures.

  4. A trio of Pictons. Interesting to see the different interpretations. The first reminds me a bit of The Penguin!
